Charred mess, charred mess
Start with nothing, end with less
Charred mess, charred mess
Start with nothing, end with less
Less than you I must confess
It's been so hard
I'm only charred mess

Lying blackened on the ground
How do the flames keep burning when the fire's gone out?
Please explain the contradiction
Just an artifact of fiction struck me down

Charred mess, charred mess
Start with nothing, end with less
Charred mess, charred mess
Start with nothing, end with less
Less than you I must confess
It's been so hard
I'm only charred mess

Lying blackened on the ground
How do the flames keep burning when the fire's gone out?
Please explain the contradiction
Just an artifact of fiction struck me down

I can't feel my way out of you
I can't feel my way out of you
I can't feel my way out of you
I can't feel

Hook your heart into my chest
Restore this life
Restore this charred mess

Lying blackened on the ground
How do the flames keep burning when the fire's gone out?
Please explain the contradiction
Just an artifact of fiction struck me down

Didn't understand you
Oh you never made it clear
Couldn't I admit that
What I wanted was never here

Charred mess, draw breath
Charred mess, draw breath
Charred mess, draw breath
Charred mess, draw breath
